The Iraqi government condemned Zeidi for his “shameful, savage act” and though he has yet to be formally charged, he could face seven years in prison for the incident. He was dragged from the room by security forces where witnesses say he was beaten. His shoes have been taken as evidence, and he is being interrogated to determine if he acted alone.

Officials have yet to disclose where he is being held, though al-Sharqiya TV claims he is held in the infamous US-run Camp Cropper. The camp, meant for “high value detainees,” has been a popular location for media members swept up by US forces over the past several years. Perhaps the most ominous aspect of this possibility is the announcement today that an unnamed 25-year-old detainee at the campdied of ” an apparently heart attack.”
